Don’t Forget the CRESCENDO!

Culver City, CA August, 2010: During the summer, Touring Video supplied a temporary TV production studio outside of Studio 11 at the famous Culver Studios. The setup was used for almost 2 months to record over 160 episodes of the popular Fox game show “Don’t Forget the Lyrics”. For the audio control room, they fitted a Stagetec CRESCENDO digital console with 32 faders, 120 Input channels, and both stereo and surround sum busses.

The CRESCENDO console and its NEXUS STAR processing rack were next to the A1 operator in the audio control room, while the other NEXUS base devices (aka “I/O frames”) were placed where they were needed: on the set, in the videotape machine room and in the audio booth. The CRESCENDO, its NEXUS STAR, and the Base Devices were interconnected via fiber optic cables, a big relief to the A2s who were happy not to have to pull hundreds of feet of heavy multi-core analog cabling throughout.

GMA, LLC, Stagetec USA-Salzbrenner Stagetec Mediagroup Inc. specialists here in the US, struck the deal with Touring Video for the 32 fader CRESCENDO and supported the session on site. Doug Armstrong, owner of Touring Video, was pleased with the support that he received from GMA and Stagetec. “My whole team was impressed with how quickly the console setup came together and with the sound. I was also impressed with the fact that the backend was virtually silent which enabled us to install the DSP rack in the audio control room.”

Chris Rich, the A1 on the tapings said, “I’m impressed with the build and sound quality of the board. The CRESCENDO is laid out in a really intuitive way and is very easy to get going on. We plugged in the mics and were amazed with the clean sound. Even the director poked his head in the audio booth to comment on the great sound which is a very rare occurrence.”

Arnie Toshner of GMA, LLC commented: "The CRESCENDO and Emmy® award winning NEXUS bring a powerful one/two combination to the TV production landscape. Finally a reliable fiber optic time-saving solution helping to solve the ever complicated evolving problems of TV game shows."
